[Tommies] Welcome Sharon Thompson from Alberta

[morrisb]

  Thanks, Gen, for your response about the proof that John, son of David
Thompson, was the same person as John Thompson of Mendon.  I wonder if any
of the Tommies has in his/her records the citations for the date, place and
source for (1) the birth of John, son of David and  (2) John of Mendon?
Does anyone have a citation for the  late 18th/early 19th century
hand-written book from Mendon at the Rhode Island Historical Society that
lists David as the father of John?  I looked at the RIHS online catalogue
and did not find it there.  Does anyone on the Tommies list have access to
that library?

  Betty Lou,
  I don't have the facts at my fingertips, but John of Mendon was the same
age as John, David's son.  There are other reasons too including a late 18th
century/early 19th century handwritten book in the RI historical society
from Mendon that lists David as the father of John.

    Hi, Gen  sometime ago you gave remarks supporting this claim.  I have a
print out of it.  Maybe you can up date it and pass it on to Betty Lou.

        Let me add my greetings of welcome to you, Sharon.  We Tommies are a
pretty scattered and diverse group, but we all claim David Thompson  as an
ancestor.  My particular hang up is the question of proof that John Thompson
of Mendon, MA, from whom we all descend, is the same man as John Thompson,
son of David.  If you have any information to help with this, please let us
know.

        Hi Sharon, thanks for joining us.  I believe I know your Uncle
Frank, if it's the same Frank Thompson -- met him on this list.  You and I
(and others on the list including Frank) share an ancestor: C. B. Thompson,
my great grandfather.  I'm eleventh generation wrt David Thomson, see my
line here:

        Do we have the same line in common?  At least up to Charles?
Welcome to the Tommies list and I look forward to seeing further posts from
you.

          Tommies,

          On Monday, 11/17/08,I received the Fall 2008 newsletter from
Thompson Island Outward Bound.  On the back page (attached to this message),
I found that Sharon Thompson of Alberta, Canada had visited Thompson Island
and wanted to reach out to other descendants of David Thompson.  I contacted
her by email, gave her a synopsis of our 2001 (Re)union, and pointed her to
the Tommies website.  She has joined our email list.

          Please join me in welcoming Sharon to our group.
